Listening to Michael Hoffman’s interview about white slavery from the video I shared earlier made me think of this
Forwarded from THE OLD WAYS
This is a very interesting monument inside the St. John’s Cathedral Malta. Look closely at the two men on the very bottom. One guy is an African slave, and the other man looks like a Slavic Cossack, or maybe even a Viking, or a Scythian. These two enslaved men have their hands tied behind their backs. They’re both broken, and forced to kneel on one knee. The two men seem to be serving as a foundation on top of which they’ve built their great empire, with a mighty military force. And of course, this monument tells you that their bloody conquest was blessed by god/holy spirit. You can see it’s representation above the entire thing, as if it’s blessing it, approving it. I think that the world would be shocked if the true way of how our history had unfolded was revealed. When it comes to the topics of slavery or genocide, people usually tend to immediately think of African slavery, or native American genocide, etc..., but I suspect that the horrific genocide that indigenous European/ Slavic people have experienced was much worse than the genocide of any other culture... We are missing real genuine historical truth, and I have an intuitive feeling that the entire history of this planet is safely locked away in some secret place, and is awaiting the right time to emerge back into the light for all to see.
Michael Hoffman’s interview on white slavery and what he says about the rise of factories, how it was a tool for enslaving white people made me think back to this video. It’s about government program that people were encouraged to participate in during the great depression in America. Government provided families with land, a small house, a few animals, and basically everything to start their own small family farm. Something they say in here stuck with me all these years. The old lady in the video says that her family was one of the families that participated in this government program. She says that while everybody starved in America, her family had everything they needed. They had plenty of food for themselves, and even enough to share with others. The lady said they were fully self-sufficient, and didn’t even need any extra income, but the government required for all of the men to go to the city, and do factory work. So even though these people got everything they needed from their own piece of land, the government still forced the men to go to the city to work in factories. I believe the government had done so, because they didn’t want people to realize that they are fully self-reliant, and they don’t need anything from the government system. Basically the state didn’t want the people to realize that they don’t need the state, and can do everything for themselves. The state didn’t want to loose its slaves
This is another documentary I remembered while watching Michael Hoffman’s video about white slavery in early America. Just a century ago close to 2 million ethnic Europeans were servants. That’s just a century ago. And if you think it was the fake “Downton Abbey” type of servants, you are highly mistaken. It was pure slavery. These people were treated like dirt. They were kept in a separate servant’s wing in the back of the house, or in underground level. Being forced underground so much made them sick. Average large houses kept up to 300 servants. These houses were designed with special passages, secret doors, and underground tunnels, to keep the masters and slaves separated. In some houses, if a junior member of staff came into contact with one of the members of the family, they had to flatten themselves against the wall. I mean they had to turn and face the wall, and press their body against the wall to let the master go by. The money paid to servants was a ridiculously tiny amount compared to the colossal amount of work they were forced to do each day. The servants started work at 5am and finished work by 9, or 10pm. They had only 1 day off, Sunday, on which they had to go to church where they were told that God wants them to be good workers, and to be content with their miserable and poor lives. They were also not allowed to date, and most of them didn’t get married. I recommend people to watch the 3 parts of this documentary. The only problem I see with it, is that although this documentary does shed light on the horrible reality of servant’s lives, they still don’t see the bigger picture, because they present industrialization as some sort of savior, not realizing that it was a continuation of the same slavery... People just switched their iron chains with gold ones, but remained enslaved.

Everything Albert Schweitzer says here about enslaving Africans parallels with what Michael Hoffman says during interview on white slavery in early America

If you don’t wish to listen to Dr Sharashkin’s experience with translating the Russian book series “The Ringing Cedars” from Russian to English, you’ll have to skip forward to 49:09.
From 56:46 Dr Leo will start specifically talking about Christianization of pagan Russian/Slavic people, and reality of Russian serfdom/slavery.
He explains that over three centuries after Christianity was introduced in Slavic Russia with sword and fire, the pagan gods & goddesses, as well as all of the pagan traditions, rites, and customs were so omnipresent among the Russian people, that Christianity had to find a way to deal with it, and they decided to incorporated a lot of these pagan elements into Russian Christian/ orthodox religion. So all of the pagan Slavic gods and goddesses are still there within Russian orthodox religion. They just turned all of them into various saints, but these saints still have all of the pagan attributes.
He also points out the fact that the Russian way of saying “Orthodox Church” is different from how you say it anywhere else in the world. The Russian name for Orthodox Church is Pravoslavnaya tserkov (Православная церковь) The name Pravoslavnaya/Pravoslavnie originally belonged to native pagan Slavic spiritual heritage, and many Russians are aware that Orthodox Church stole this name for itself.
I like Dr Sharashkin’s research. I think he has opened the eyes of Russian people to many things. I think his heart is in it, but I don’t think his looking deep enough. He tends to collect his facts mainly from official sources. Other Russian researchers are saying that much of Russian historical architecture was either ancient architecture that was recently renovated, or built right on top of ancient palaces, temples, etc... Meaning Russian land already had cities build of what they call “white stone” long before official history tells us Russian cities appear

Dr Sharashkin also points out in his presentation “The wisdom of Siberian woman name Anastasia” that the word book and beech/beech tree meant the same. Why do these two words mean the same? Supposedly in the old days people used the bark of beech trees to write letters. However, Dr. Leo point out that people used the bark of all kinds of trees for letters. It wasn’t only done on Beech tree bark. So this explanation doesn’t make sense. Another interesting thing to point out is the fact that the Russian way of saying Beech tree is Buk/Book. Sharashkin believes that it has to with how perfectly in-tuned our pagan ancestors were the living world of nature, and all living things, with their ability of communicating with forces of nature, and trees
